Uwe, do you have a method to reproduce flickering with the GTK_THEME=adwaita? Even so, the workaround is a major improvement, and the best we have, so I'll add it to my OLPC derivative of the Ubuntu sugar-write-activity package. http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/y/1bkIWb.txt -- You received this

I'll attach a stream that causes the problem. It is from a DVB-T card, filtered by pid. The package with regression is libavcodec54. Previous working version before updates was https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/amd64/libavcodec54/6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 A workaround, downgrade only this

G'day Brian! Yes, the theme workaround began not working for me with 17.04. Yes, the problem can come and go with any changes to the hardware, kernel, X server, or libraries. There is a fix that makes the situation a lot better, see my post last week on the upstream bug

G'day Brian. Yes, it needs to be compiled in. Download the Ubuntu source package, apply the patch, build the package, then install it. If you've not done that before, you may find it quite complicated. You might enable deb-src entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, then "apt-get update",

G'day Brian. The patch command automatically applies a patch to a set of files. The particular patch has a sacrificial path element so the --strip 1 option should be used. The --dry-run option is also useful for testing. So it would be "patch --strip 1 --dry-run < file.patch", where file.patch

G'day Brian. Good to hear. For local testing, the signing can be ignored; there's an option to skip it. The warnings sound familiar, but are normal. For me, the patch did fix the flickering of the whole screen, but did not fix the flickering cursor. Guess next steps upstream involve reproducing

Thanks for the bump, I'd forgotten to update this bug. I found the cause of the problem and fixed it for systems using Xorg. It was a race condition, and is affected by speed of computer, speed of graphics, other processes, and theme drawing. That's why it may not happen for some people. You

Sorry Simon, I had already tested my patch with my own local package, I didn't think you'd need me to test your package of it, and I'm hoping to hear if anybody else has tested it. ;-) On a 17.10 Artful VM with Sugar, the Sugar desktop does not appear, some other problem, so I'm not able to test
